I don't understand people who charge $15-20? When I started I wanted to charge people as much as possible. Reasonably priced I mean, these people have absolutely no concept of business. They can have the pita clients with weedy yards that we wouldn't make any money on anyway. There is a place for everyone, and reasonable, professional businesses will have higher end clients that understand business and the things that we do to promote ourselves as being professional.Posted via Mobile Device

Good for them. Times are tough. I applaud their work ethic. There's more than enough work for everybody.

wasn't meant as a rant, just a comment. I'm just old enough to remember when things were a little different, and the streets weren't full of people of every description with a mowing apparatus of some kind. It is what it is. I drop the gate and look down the street and 6 other guys are doing the same thing. It is what it is.

Even if a business makes just enough money to cover costs but not enough to pay the owner a salary. Two years of not drawing a salary. Not many people have the savings to make it through one year without a salary.

Most businesses take three years to take off because they need that much time to have obtained the holy trinity of business where money for expenses, growth, and, income have been reached.
